• The one task founders must prioritize daily to keep revenue steady
  
  
• How community and mastermind groups can accelerate your growth and confidence
  
  
• Why retention matters more than new leads in your first scaling phase
  
  
• How to use your personal story to attract clients and stand out in your industry
  
  
• The mindset that keeps you going when the results feel far away
  
  

Alex and Karla also share stories of their early struggles, from endless lead generation hours to learning the power of consistent storytelling and human connection. Their advice is honest, simple, and designed for entrepreneurs ready to take their income and independence seriously.

In this episode, Karla sits down with Pete Scott, creator of the Peaceful Sales method, to talk about how selling online can feel calm, natural, and even enjoyable, whether you’re an introvert, an expert, or someone who hates “selling.”

Pete breaks down the psychology behind why people buy, why most coaches and creators overcomplicate the process, and how shifting your energy can transform your sales calls, your content, and the way clients respond to you. He shares the real reason people freeze up when it’s time to talk about their offer, and why emotional regulation, not scripts, is the secret ingredient behind effortless sales.

Karla and Pete dive into the biggest misconceptions about selling online, the hidden fears that stop people from making money, and the simple framework that helps you sell authentically without pressure or pushiness.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why sales feels scary for most people: How old stories, nervous system responses, and fear of rejection show up on calls and in your content.
• The Peaceful Sales principle that makes closing feel easy instead of stressful: Why clients say “yes” when you’re grounded, calm, and connected instead of trying to impress.
• How to stop sounding like every other coach or creator online: The subtle shift that helps you speak in your real voice and attract people who want exactly what you offer.
• Why being overly prepared can backfire: How overthinking and over-scripting disconnect you from the person you're trying to help.
• The one question that instantly uncovers what your client actually needs: And why listening deeply is more effective than trying to “pitch.”
• How to sell high-ticket offers without feeling like a fraud: Pete breaks down the mindset, confidence, and emotional clarity required to sell transformational results.

Pete also shares powerful insights from his years of coaching sales professionals, including real examples of how small emotional shifts changed not just their business results but their confidence, presence, and relationships. His approach is simple, grounded, and refreshingly human, making sales feel accessible even for people who think they’re “not good at it.”

If you’ve ever felt anxious before a sales call or unsure how to talk about your offer online, this episode will give you the tools, clarity, and peace of mind to start selling with confidence.

In this episode, Alex and Karla Booth open up about the side of success no one talks about: what it feels like to finally get the dream job, the dream income, the dream city, and still feel completely stuck.

Alex shares his journey from Microsoft to Amazon, where he had everything he thought he wanted (a great salary, a beautiful Seattle life, a prestigious role, and a clear path upward), but inside he felt trapped. He talks about the exact moment he realized he loved his job but hated his life, and why staying on that path would have cost him more than it gave.

Karla reflects on watching Alex’s inner shift happen in real time, why so many "high achievers" hit this invisible wall, and what it really takes to admit that something isn’t working, even when it looks perfect on paper. Together, they break down the emotional, psychological, and practical turning points that pushed them toward remote work, freedom, and a life designed intentionally.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The illusion of the dream job.
• How achievement, promotions, and prestige can mask deep dissatisfaction and loneliness.
• Why so many people love their work but hate the life attached to it: The commute, the weather, the isolation, the burnout, and the cost of living that slowly wear you down.
• The pivotal moment that made Alex walk away from corporate life: What happened on that bus ride home and why it changed everything.
• How to recognize when it’s time to leave, even if everything looks "good enough": Signs your lifestyle is draining you even when your career is thriving.
• Why freedom isn’t about quitting your job, but about choosing your life: The mindset shift that helped Alex and Karla rebuild their careers on their own terms.
• The unexpected clarity that comes from stepping away from a path that no longer fits you: How Alex finally understood who he was outside of corporate identity and why that changed how he works today.

Alex and Karla also share intimate, raw moments from this season of transition (from burnout weekends to long commutes to feeling like life only existed on Saturdays). Their stories offer an honest look at what it’s like to outgrow a life you worked so hard to build, and why choosing yourself isn’t selfish but necessary.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really feels like to look successful on the outside while struggling internally, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
